Since I was on an Instagram hiatus when Venus entered Cancer, I\u2019ve decided to work it into my Uranus in Taurus retrograde post. Taurus is Venus ruled after all, I think we can make this work. \ud83d\ude0d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I know it\u2019s like every other week I announce that I\u2019m going on a social media detox, but it\u2019s exactly what I needed to do, so I am not ashamed! Even if your job revolves around social media, we all need a social media break every now and then!<\/strong> We all know the positive affects of social media but we also know the negative ones; so check in with your mind and body, are you feeling overwhelmed and feel like your scrolling for hours? Take a break! No shame in that. You will not miss anything! What you need to know, will come around to you, I promise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During my time off, I signed up for a virtual astrology summit by Radiant Astrology and learned so much! I\u2019ve only seen the first day (out of 3) videos but I\u2019m already so open and ready to learn more about astrology! Give me all the knowledge!! I even signed up for the Fresh Voices in Astrology summit this weekend with more videos! Sure I splurged a little, but I consider this my schooling\u2026It makes me happy, and it opens my mind to new possibilities, and it helps me to give you all better astrological information. Plus it supports the wonderful, amazing astrologers that are teaching me so much-worth it! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now that I\u2019ve caught you up on my weekend Instagram media break, let\u2019s get into Uranus Rx in Taurus and Venus in Cancer. I\u2019m still learning about transits and aspects so I\u2019m gonna stick to the basics of what I know about these planets in these signs. This is the basics so after reading this, keep this stuff in mind over the next few weeks. What comes up for you? Does it resonate with what I\u2019m saying? Does something totally different happen for you? Apply the basics I’m giving you here to your own birth chart. Where is Taurus and Cancer in your birth chart? Do you have any planets in those signs that are being affected by Uranus and Venus? It gets complicating when you get into the transits so don’t worry if this is over your head. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simply learning some terms associated with these planets and zodiac signs will help you grasp the basics and eventually dissect your own chart like a pro. If you really want to know how exactly you will be affected by these major 2020 transits, get you an astrology reading! There are so many great astrologers out there who are willing to help you flow through the crazy times with as much ease as possible. Maybe someday I will be one of them…a girl can dream right? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alright, let\u2019s keep this astrological learning train chugging!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Venus in Cancer<\/em><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

(From about August 7th-September 5th)<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Uranus Rx in Taurus<\/span><\/em><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

(From about August 15th-January 1st 2021)<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

So between August 15th and September 5th, Uranus is retrograde and Venus is in Cancer. These are the dates I\u2019m focusing on for now, don\u2019t even get me started on November’s forecast! I\u2019m keeping it basic here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

What is Venus in Cancer<\/strong>?<\/span><\/em><\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Venus is the planet of Attraction, Beauty, and Love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cancer is the sign of Compassion, Home, and Nurture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Sounds like a beautiful combination right?!? Right! So why are we all still fighting? We still got Mars in Aries doing its thing, squaring Saturn in Capricorn. And Pluto and Jupiter tearing shit up in Capricorn as well, but we aren\u2019t here to talk about the madness. The madness of the world is completely necessary, but remember the beauty of the world is always present as well. Both are completely necessary to feel into and balance is the key to endurance. So let’s talk about both beauty and madness. We have a long fight ahead of us guys, gotta stay balanced!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Plugging these key words together, we get:<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Attracting Compassion<\/span><\/em><\/strong>– have compassion for others and they will have compassion for you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I so need to channel this! Like many of you, I have been kicking and screaming and fighting so much this year. I was lost in the blame circle that’s spreading around, but it\u2019s time to get out of that cycle. Let’s zoom out from the fight and see people for what they are, people. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How do we find compassion for one another in these dark times?<\/em> The Man is tearing us apart. The Man is seemingly unaffected by the chaos and is LOVING this mess. We gotta sit with ourselves and connect with our end goals. What are we fighting for? Ending systemic racism? If this is the case then who are we really fighting, our racist neighbors? Or the Man? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Reminds me of a scene from one of my most favorite movies ever: School of Rock<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Battle of the Bands director<\/a> <\/strong>: What do they all have?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dewey Finn<\/a> <\/strong>: It’s a rare blood disease: “Stick-it-to-da-man-noisis”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Battle of the Bands director<\/strong><\/a> : What’s that? I’ve never heard of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dewey Finn<\/strong><\/a> : You’re lucky. Because it’s hell.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Remember what you are ultimately fighting, the rest is just noise.<\/strong> <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

How do we attract compassion when it feels like the worlds gone mad and compassion is lost?<\/em> Maybe we have to distance ourselves from our loved ones who don\u2019t agree at this time. Yes we need to have the difficult conversations but sometimes it leads to screaming and crying and is ultimately unproductive. We gotta take a step back, find out what\u2019s really triggering us deep down, and give compassion to ourselves first. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Give compassion and you will gain compassion in return. <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

I was just in the ineffective screaming phase (which NEEDED to happen-so we shouldn\u2019t be ashamed of this phase). But now I\u2019m in the distance phase. There are bigger forces to fight than our families and friends right now. Cancer also rules the family and home so watch out for the tension there; with all these major planets (Jupiter, Saturn, and Pluto) in Cancer’s opposite sign – Capricorn, there can be added tension (opposition = tension but opposition can also = balance<\/em>). If we have to take a step back from them, we have to take a step back. Don\u2019t let them shame you for that either! Check in with yourself, do what you need to do. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beauty in the Home<\/span><\/em><\/strong>– how many of you focused on cleaning up your home and beautifying it when quarantine hit? How many of you have neglected the home care these past couple months? You are not alone! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clean up your house, dust, vacuum, clean out the fridge. For many of us, our homes are our safe zones and when we neglect them, we neglect our inner safety. Safety has been a major concern this year, so I say whatever we can do to feel safe, let’s make it a priority. Many of us have neglected our homes for far too long. We used to go go go all the time. 2020 is showing us we can\u2019t do that anymore. Just because restaurants are open, doesn\u2019t mean we have to go to one every single day and avoid our responsibilities at home. I have a feeling we\u2019ll be cooped up in our homes again this fall\/winter; might as well prepare and beautify that home now. (And stay in and stop the spread of COVID so innocent people stop dying…again maybe that’s just my opinion…)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Love and Nurture<\/span><\/em><\/strong>– Love and nurture yourself. Love and nurture others. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cLove is the cure and courage is the weapon, we can use to overcome.\u201d <\/p>Snoop Lion – Rebel Way<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

This Snoop lyric sounds like a major fucking Leo season Venus in Cancer statement if I\u2019ve ever heard one! Remember we\u2019re still in the sun sign of the Lion…so trust your heart! Reach down inside and find that love. Remember that love. Spread that love. Yes, have the courage to take care of yourself at this time; but also, can we look inside and find even more courage to take care of our neighbor’s at this time? Let\u2019s find out what we all really need, OK? What are we all fighting for? How can we all come together? What can we do to keep all of us, alive, well, and free? Love and nurture, baby.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
